AFAIK the games are indeed region free. I've never heard of controllers being region restricted.

New Xbox arrived today.
Looking forward to firing her up.

Only thing, no headset with it. Strange one. Not that I use it anyway, but would have been handy.

Have a spare headset that came with my X1 . Have no use for it, since I upgraded. PM me your address if you want it...

I don't think it is, might have to switch to UK but it should work then once you switch back to Ireland.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it's geo locked. Unless you change your ip on your router? Sorry mods, just talking. Nothing else.

Haven't tried it on XB1 either but I have a Now TV box and it works fine in Ireland without changing ip/dns or anything so I assume it should work on xb1 too.

Yeah, nothing on the box about a headset either.

Trixie, thanks very much, will the headset work with the newer controller with the 3.5mm jack though.

Yup, all headsets still work on new controller. Nothing changes apart from adding the 3.5mm built in.

Any 3.5mm headset works with the new headset.

Does this new controller make the headset adapter redundant??

Didnt think there was a sku without a headset, thats very weird

essentally, yeah I suppose, but there will always be people who have premium headsets from last gen who want to keep using them.

Not quite. I still use mine because the controls on it are very handy. Game volume, chat volume. I can still use the controller without needing the adapter but then I have to use the volume controls in the OS.

Devilfish698 · 09-10-2015 10:02pm

What does the 3.5mm headphone jack do on the new controller. Just got an xbox one last week but never plugged into the jack yet. No headphone came with my console either

if you use normal headphones, then it's great to just hear your game and stuff.

If you use the headphones with a built in mic (but only certain ones, samsung's works) Then you can not only hear the game, and people talking, but also use that mic as well.

Very handy, but the should have added it as standard like Sony did.

Devilfish698 · 09-10-2015 11:40pm

Cool thanks a million ☺

Sleazy Gonzales · 10-10-2015 8:29am

What's the story with nobody using mics on xbox live these days? Could I possibly have a setting that needs changing? Because I can't remember the last time i've heard someone speak...in real life too ðŸ˜¯

Reboot your router first, if that doesn't help reboot the console - physically unplug it.

Tried that, running on wireless instead of cabled connection instead.

Read online maybe a static IP will help will give it a go later

Make sure the console is set to automatically obtain an IP address, shouldn't have to go setting a static one.

Wireless mifi hub or something? Restart that so.

Static won't make any difference.

Hey lads, quick question....

So I got two controllers when I got my Xbox. The left stick broke on one (its like its permanently jammed forward when using it) and the charger stopped working on the second. We got a third 6 weeks ago....and now the LB is busted and is, again, acting as if its jammed in when its not.

We're really not rough on them, but we can't afford to keep buying new ones. So was wondering...is there any chance Microsoft will replace them? How would I even go about asking about it? Its really frustrating

Left thumb drift is a common issue, you should send them back to the retailer and demand a replacement.

Yeah I don't see how you can embed them on boards either so I just recommend the youtube method.

Yeah I'm sticking to it also or the one drive method, but YouTube seems ne on the blink today I put up a video and its just a blank black video, but on my YouTube account its perfect,

Anyone know if Halo 5 was purchased from a non English speaking EU country would also be in English if the console language is set to that?

I've purchased digital games from non english speaking countries and they've all been ok. Not sure about disc version.

Them ****ing things are like hens teeth. If you find one let me know. The best option I think was turtle beach chat back cable if you want it for a headset 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable strsight without need for adapter.

maplin would be the best bet for the adapter.

I'm in carrick on shannon so my options are pretty limited, hence wondering if tesco might have them. My housemates tend to go to bed a bit before me so I don't like having the TV blaring in my room.

Is there any way I can get the kinect mic to work while using the headphones for audio?

plug headphones into your tv (if its an option), then disconnect your headset, then go to kinect options and tick the "use kinect microphone for game chat box"

you'll sound like you're in a tin can but its better than nothing I suppose.

Try Aliexpress or DealExtreme, great sites to pick up these little things for dirt cheap. Delivery can be slow, expect 2-3 weeks.

I've bought USB cables, USB power adapters, HDMI leads etc. off those.

There's always eBay, had to get a few 3.5mm adapters recently, took about 10days to get to me.

Something like this. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Metal-3-5mm-Male-Jack-to-2-5mm-Female-Stereo-Headphone-Audio-Adapter-Gold-Plated-/171306179030?hash=item27e2a4d9d6

Do you think I could find that when I needed it, nope.

Gizmo55 · 15-10-2015 10:57pm

My Xbox One has never been able to turn on my Cisco UPC box(well, Virgin now). It turns it off fine but not on. I've had a couple of boxes but no joy. I've asked in the preview forums and was given a couple of codes to try a good while ago but none worked. There are no on or off power options for it in settings, just 'toggle' or 'nothing'. Has anyone else had this problem and did you get it fixed? Cheers.

tripperman · 16-10-2015 11:02am

Got valiant hearts on gold last night, for some reason I went into the Xbox store and I'm sure A.C. syndicate is up same bundle for 69 and 89 Euro can that be correct, both said same extra pre order dickens conspiracy theory add ons on both, am I missing something on?
